tech-radar-context

tech-radar-context is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (2,396 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technology-evaluation skill that finds relevant entries in the Tikal Israeli Tech Radar, a catalogue of technologies rated by adoption stage and area. It adds the matching recommendations and alternatives to the agent's context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing or evaluating a framework, database, library, cloud service, or other technology. It covers DevOps, backend, AI/ML, and web/mobile technologies.
Why use it?
It gives technology choices consistent guidance about whether to explore, adopt, keep, or stop using a tool.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tech-radar-context scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/radar-search.ps1, scripts/radar-search.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Overview

Surface Tikal's opinion on the technologies relevant to the current prompt so a tech stack choice is informed by the Israeli Tech Radar. This skill works like team-discover, but its search surface is the Tikal Tech Radar dataset (fetched live from https://tikalk.com/radar.json) instead of the team CDR index: it extracts candidate technologies from the prompt, matches them against radar blips, and injects a compact Tech Radar Context table (ring, quadrant, Tikal's "Why?" opinion) plus Tikal-aligned alternatives for anything on Stop.

The radar has four quadrantsDevOps, Backend, AI/ML, Web/Mobile — and four adoption rings:

Ring Meaning Guidance
Try New stuff that on the surface seems good (good press, new solution) Explore / evaluate; not yet endorsed for production use
Start A good solution more companies should use; if in beta, active progress and contribution Recommend adopting on new projects
Keep Stable release (non-beta) with major supporter acceptance (large community, used by corporates) Recommend by default for current & new work
Stop Items we recommend companies stop using — better alternatives exist Warn against; recommend a Keep/Start alternative

Each blip's description embeds an HTML <p>Why?</p> block followed by a <p>Description</p> block. The Why? text carries Tikal's explicit stance and rationale — that is the opinion to surface. A technology may appear more than once (different quadrants) with different rings; report each relevant placement.

When to Use

Model-invoke this skill whenever the prompt involves choosing or evaluating technology, for example:

  • Selecting a framework, library, database, message broker, or cloud tool.
  • Comparing options ("X vs Y", "should we use Z").
  • Designing a system, service, or pipeline where stack decisions are implied.
  • Reviewing an existing stack for modernization or replacement.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
